The Secret of Popularity.

! An Austin man who was a can- didate for certain political office was badly beaten at the polls by one whom we will designate as Brown. The next day the defeat ed candidate strolled into a saloon where he owed a considerable bill. and, with an air of deep deiection, called for a toddy After drinking 1t he remarked to the barlleeper:
 Don't you feel sorry that I was defeated yesterday?'
 Not a blamed bit" replied the yivacious saloon keepor.
 But don t you see, if I had been elected I could have paid my bar bill, but now you will have to wait on me a spell"
 Yes, that's all right enough,' said the saloon-keeper; ''but if you had been elected Brown would have been defeated, and Brown ows me twice as big bill as yours"
 Great Heavens! Can this be true? Alas, too late I have dis covered the secret of Browns pop ularity! He probably owes all the saloons and every body in town, and they were anxious to get their pay. Give me another toddy. I'll try and make up for lost time, and when the next election comes off I'll be neck and neck with him, if not a little ahead."- Fix.

have tried it again and again. Last
spring ! ran a mower for few
rounds, just to keep my hand in, on
a clay field where plaster had been
sown unevenly, it was badly worn
land, neglected, starved aud washed,
but where the plaster touched, it
would give three tons per acre of
mixed hay. Where it was missed it
would not yield one.
But what does it cost?
1t can be laid down here at not to
exceed $3.50 per ton. In Sparta
Herold, I saw it advertised in
bulk at $3.50 to $3.50, but in bags it
costs $3.50, if the sacks are returned
a rebate Of $500 is given, so that
sowing 100 lbs. per acre it costs
from 80 to 40 cents per. acre.
After it comes iuto use the station
agents keep it. But as this season
is to be one of wonderful demand on
meadows and pasture lands, | would
advise ten men, who have 20 acres
to seed or have clover meadows of a
year old, to club together and have
a carload brought in for them.
! want to emphasize the fact, that
the worst effects of the drouth are
yet to come, there being no new
meadows from last year. If you
SOW on older meadows, SOW just as
early as you can. Some men claim
that the plaster sowed on oats, bar
ley, wheat or rye with which the
grass seed has been sown will be
benefited much, but remember |
tell you that You can see it on clover.
Try it then thoroughly for five years
and we wont hear any more about
the worn out farms. But if you
don't, they will get poorer, and if
you SOW clover simply for fertiliza-
ton, 1t will pay as well. Be con-
verified now, for you will be some

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Erom ~ reguIar correspondent.

From oar regular correspondent.
Breaks i'm the Cabinet, the still
beadIess Treasury Department.
Speaker Carislc's refusal of that
portfolio, the Interstate Commerce
Commission appointments, and
the dangerous illness of the new
Recorder of Deeds, Mr. Trotter, are
some of the things that have hap
pened and been talked about at the
Capital during the past week.
On Friday the President celebra-
ted his fftieth birthday in a very
quiet manner. He received birthday
cards and floral tributes and con
CALCULATIONS in great quantities, but
he attended to his official duties in
the morning and received the usual
concourse of people in the East
Room ut one o'clock. In the evening
he went to the theatre unaccompan-
led by Mrs, Cleveland, who is in
mourning now for her grandmother.
The habit of duplicating pay ac-
counts by army officers has received
a fresh impulse and is becoming
epidemic. The latest accession to
the ranks Of military financial crooks
Is Lieut.. Wilcox, eth cavalry, who
was arrested in St. Louis, and sent
10 Fort Smelling TO be coursmar-
ualed. This makes five army Off

MILWAUKEE Sentinel: THE fig
ures of speech that preachers some
times use are always well intended,
but occasionally they are too daring.
One Pennsylvania preacher, in
thanking a passenger agent for a
pass, expressed the hope that on
the great through line to Heaven,
the conductor Jesus Christ would
give the agent a dead-head ticket;
aud a most excellent preacher in
this state has used a similar figure
in writing to a passenger agent.
Many people are not able to contem-
plate the way to heaven as a modern
railway, with the Savior as a passen-
ger agent or conductor, without a
feeling Of repugnance. The Sal
walton cranks and the Sam Joneses
have carried this figure business SO
far that feelings of reverence are in
considerable danger and it would
be q very good thing if ministers
should discountenance commercial
and other everyday symbols for
heavenly affairs.

speeches that rebound to his credit,
and that are calculated TO benefit the
whole country. If they shosld re-
suit in his nomination and election
to the presidency, it will be no mis-
fortune. We do not know of man
in the United States who, by natural
ability, training and experience, is
better fitted for the presidency than
this same John Sherman. If there
are any statesmen in the country he
is one Of them"

A rock, which the Sioux Indians near
Fort Yates, D. T., have worshipped for
generations as the petrified form of a
young squsw, was formally unveiled the
other day and dedicated to peace and
plenty. 1t appears that the white set
tiers in the vicinity have long supposed
that this specimen Of Natures art work
exerted restraining influence on the
Indians. but Of late the rock has been
removed from It's original resting place,
and it was feared that with its remova
its charm had disappeared. So the sug-
gestion was made to Sitting Bull that
the statae be placed upon permanent
pedestal and unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies. Thia pleased the chieftain
and 5000 Indians assembled to take part
in the strange medley Of Christian and
Pagan rites by which the unveiling was
accompanied

elongated by rolling into long sheets or

practical value. They are manufactured

The Eastern weather men often report
disturbances originating in the Rocky
Mountains. In aud beyond the sur
rounding mountains, near and far, arc
the many caves Of Aeolns, the arsenals Of
the celestial artillery, and the peaks
which make the sympathetic clouds give
down. Often the still air is suddenly
surprised by breeze from some unex-
pected quarter, as if some mountain god
Of the winds had awaked Aud it may
cease as suddenly, and as suddenly may
come from another quarter.
From the Santa Fe basin may be seen
in the mountain panorama several dis
tinot showers at once, with clear sky
between. Often the setting sun dis
plays several rainbows at once, with sng.
gestions Of more. Last week rainbow.
springing from the mountain top, with a
breadth more like tower, had an IL
Illumination more like column of FIRE
than the usual rainbow faintness. But
this was rare even for this wonderful sky.
While all is serene over the valley, the
lightning may be giving grand shows in
the mountains. Sometimes a diilusing
light cloud between gives the effect Of a
general illumination.
